Shy Voters

Suspecting Republicans are less likely to tell others how they’ll vote on Tuesday, Rasmussen Reports polling organization asked likely voters whether they were likely to tell others how they vote. More Democrats than Republicans said they would talk about how they voted.

This causes Rasmussen to say there is at least some reason to expect greater-than-predicted GOP voting, representing so-called “shy voters.” I think of these as “Bradley effect” voters, people who know what the PC answer is and give that when asked, even though it doesn’t accurately reflect their actions.

It is a slender reed - about all Republicans have to cling to - with everyone predicting the Dems take over the House majority and produce gridlock and chaos. Friends, if you haven’t already voted,
GO VOTE!
